Program Description:
Cultivating Purpose and Pivot in Clients: the Outward-Inward Career Model
With technology advancing exponentially, the "Uberization" of business models, rapid globalization, and continued downsizings and restructuring, almost no career field is untouched by change and complexity. As career counselors and coaches we hear so much about the need for our clients or students to develop or hone 21st century workplace competencies, particularly resilience. Our profession is also increasingly attending to the importance of meaning-making and wellbeing, as happiness in work and at work becomes more of a stretch.
In this session, Dr. Michelle Tullier will challenge us to examine whether our career counseling or coaching methodologies are aligned with these realities. And, she will introduce a disruptive model of careers – the Outward-Inward Career Model (OICM) – that helps clients or students cultivate a sense of purpose to their work and an ability to pivot as they face difficulties and unpredictability in their work lives.
Building on a foundation of historical career theories from Parsons to Super and many others, with a heavy dose of contemporary thinking from Blustein’s relational ideas to Chaos Career Theory and Krumboltz’s recent wisdom, the OICM is a practical approach to 21st century career challenges.
